...and learned each dance step to "All that Jazz" from Chicago after seeing Bebe Neuwirth rock it in 1996. So you can understand my excitement that I have the Tony Awards as well as tickets to South Pacific to enjoy on this lovely Sunday.

I wanted to do a dress today, so this is what I went with.

The royal blue linen-y material is fabulous and I loved the texture on top, so I wanted to bring that out. First, I took off the sleeves on this vintage I. Magnin dress.

After the sleeves were taken off, I cut the length of the dress a bit as well. I definitely wanted to go short, and that is where I am headed!

After the scissors went to work I got to pinning down some areas to sew on my sewing machine. I got the bottom ready for a new hem and got the armholes prepped to get rid of the raw edging. Ooh, and a few inches in the body were pinched to tighten up - from the arms to right below my chestal area :)

New dress was ready for the theater!! I stopped for a pic with Los Angeles' City Hall in the background before my mom and I took our seats.

Even though "NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY" was mentioned before the show began, clearly I shut the flash off at intermission to take a pic from where we were sitting.

My mom and I were humming "Bali Ha'i" and "Some Enchanted Evening" as we left and I guarantee I'll wake up in the morning with them still stuck in my head. Gotta love Rodgers & Hammerstein!
